FedEx is undervalued in a tech-driven market, trading at a forward P/E of 13.1, well below its historical average and peer UPS. Cost-saving initiatives DRIVE and Network 2.0 are delivering billions in savings, driving margin expansion despite muted revenue growth in the short term. Patient investors could see potentially robust total returns as EPS growth accelerates, supported by operational leverage and a return to mean valuation.
FedEx's revenue growth is sluggish, but operational efficiency has driven strong EPS growth and margin improvement, demonstrating resilience despite tariff headwinds. Cash flow generation is a minor concern, but the company is shifting capital allocation toward increased dividends and share buybacks, enhancing shareholder returns. Q1 guidance is mixed, with only modest revenue and EPS growth expected, indicating that efficiency gains may be slowing.
In the most recent trading session, FedEx (FDX) closed at $243.2, indicating a +2.83% shift from the previous trading day.

FedEx and UPS are undervalued after significant declines, offering attractive yields and long-term upside for value investors despite ongoing headwinds. FedEx boasts a well-covered 2.44% dividend yield, strong cash flow, aggressive share buybacks, and cost-cutting initiatives supporting future growth. UPS, in a turnaround phase, offers a high 6.5% yield, ongoing restructuring, and cost savings, with a solid balance sheet and long-term price appreciation potential.
FedEx faces macroeconomic and trade headwinds, but maintains profitability, liquidity, and operational efficiency despite lackluster growth. Cost controls, automation, and network diversification bolster resilience, while manageable debt and strong free cash flow support financial stability. Valuation is attractive: shares trade below historical averages and peers, with technicals signaling early bullish momentum and a favorable risk/reward setup.
FedEx NYSE: FDX faces hurdles and headwinds, but its stock is at the bottom of its decline because its turnaround and optimization strategy is gaining traction. The FQ1 results and guidance reveal the impacts, including plans to accelerate efforts and potentially exceed the long-term cost-savings targets.
